Last Friday, the Summit Daily News ran an article about what has happened with the movie and what I am going to do with it in the future. You can read about it here. I am very grateful to them for running the article and want to point out that I am not going to remake the movie. I am going to find the people who are as passionate about the Global Water Crisis as I am and they are going to remake it. I don't want to be in the film business! I'm not a filmmaker, I'm a waitress who happens to believe in helping people with the most basic need in life--water!
Tomorrow is WWD--World Water Day, and I suggested on Facebook that people should do an experiment. When they are thirsty tomorrow, instead of immediately reaching for that glass of cool, clean and clear water, they should wait 5 minutes and see what it's like to not have water at their fingertips. I believe that too many people still waste too much water and don't understand that water is precious. The water crisis isn't just in 3rd world countries. Having lived in Colorado for so many years, I know about water restrictions, and even here in High River Alberta, we have different "levels of water conservation" in effect at certain times of the year. Don't think for a minute that water troubles are only for other countries!
So what are you going to do tomorrow to observe WWD? Even if you pause for a minute and think about the different ways you waste water, that's a start. Then you can choose from the many many non-profits that are focusing on this issue and give to them. Follow your stars and see who they support. But maybe just maybe, next year you can go and see a movie and know that all the money is going to help as many of those organizations as possible. What an idea. It will happen! C'mon, Let's Do It!

National Public Radio
It was 4 years ago to the day that I was first on NPR! How time flies eh? The movie has been out and about around the world and having a great time. I just talked to a friend in Germany yesterday and she was excited about this new project and will be spreading the word.
I have been doing a lot of research about water charities and celebrities and have found that there are about 170 celebs that are concerned about water. Surely I will find one or two who agree that my Project Remake is a good idea. By the way, I just received the latest Celebs Gone Good and now Taylor Swift is on the band wagon. They keep on coming and coming, and realizing how they can help and what influence they have.
While doing research, I have come across many sites that deal with the power of positive thinking, the law of attraction and other ideas along those lines and came across a wonderful tool to use to have the life that The Secret talked about, but didn't really give a way to actually do it. We all have some work to do on ourselves to make us the kind of people whom we were really meant to be, and to reach our dreams. The World Tapping Summit is an amazing tool and it was free, which is a good sign of helping others without gain, but now they are giving 100% of the proceeds from the purchase of the movie, (which is at half price to make it easier on our pocketbooks) to help Japan. It's the very same IDEA I have about my movie and what it can do. These guys started out at $5,000 and in a day or two bumped it up to $10,000 because of the response! See??? People DO want to help others. With Project Remake, they will be doing just that. AND, it won't be only when there is an immediate tragedy, because this is ONGOING!!!
C'mon! Let's Do It!!!

More for Water!!
As you know, I have been doing research for my proposal regarding Project Remake and continually come across interesting news. So, apparently there's some guy who is having his 17th birthday today, who happens to be from Stratford Ontario-- where I lived many many moons ago. We visited Stratford quite frequently when I was growing up because my grandparents lived there. I was just there again about 2 years ago, roaming around by the Avon river taking photos of the beautiful swans that grace the park, by the Shakespeare Theatre and of COURSE I had Ken's French Fries downtown! Yummy!
So anyway, this young man is having a special birthday today because he has asked people to give $17 to a charity that he is supporting, instead of giving presents to him. Do people actually give presents to stars? I really don't know. I also really didn't know about this young man until fairly recently because I am so busy with the project or am gone so much, and simply because I am over 50 and don't know too much about young people's stars. But apparently millions of kids DO know about this young man. This is from an article about him today: In the meantime he's clearly done his homework on finding a charity that does a great deal of positive work on the planet. "100% of all donations go directly to building clean water projects in developing countries with Charity: Water and we'll be able to see photos and GPS of the projects we helped build!" he notes.
So, how great is that!!??
Oh yeah, his name? Who is this you ask? Justin Bieber. So many fans have donated and by doing that and talking about it to their friends, they are spreading the word! People care so much about what their favorite celebrities are doing. See how a benefit movie--stars being benevolent--would really get attention?
OK, Let's Do It!!!
